Ok, so use water Anyone else have input?

[Giles]

Just like anything else IH - inside out at 30C.  Gentle spin, hang to dry.

With a strong washing line or drying rack. I can't imagine how heavy that jacket will be when wet.

(I've never washed mine)

I should have bought one when I had the chance when they were on sale. Great looking jacket.

I feel the same way. Any chance of this rising from the dead (in beige)?

[Giles]

Unlikely - I Had to reduce them to shift the last few and H had to do the same….

Add hand warmers and they will fly off the shelves!

It's just not that simple.  Virtually every fabric we use is made from first principles.  That means for a fabric like this double weave cord, we need to make 1200 meters, that is a shit load of jackets…......

[DrBabyhorse]

Reading through the thread, what superfuzz mentions (no pockets) seems to be a common occurrence. Do you think that had to do with them not selling as planned?

[Giles]

Possibly

[DrBabyhorse]

So nice! I'm going to get my hands on one of these someday.

I left mine in in a hotel (The Hotel) in Alderney, they promised to send it back three weeks ago, still no sign

[Qinhan]

^ Damn.  I'd definitely call them to check up on it.

How are these bad boys evolving? Share the love.

Edit: Damn, confused it with my Duck Typ III.

@DrBabyhorse  Evo? I'll try…

I bought my jacket in March 2012 and wore it a lot for the first 16 months. Then I moved to a hot climate and it gets the odd day out from time to time. The cord has become really soft and shaped to my frame. I totally love how the buttons have turned the surrounding material rust-coloured and you can see the same copper shade on the elbow on the left sleeve. So much depth in the fabric that is really hard to capture with a phone cam…

Never washed this one btw.
